Feature request: A view counter for the number of views (duh) on a submitted link.

I think the problem is that you they would need an elaborate system to verify that people aren't submitting fake clicks, and inflating the view count to try to game the system.

You could easily track the number of unique, logged in viewers of the comments section, but to track click-throughs AFAIK you'd need to actually break the URL itself.

This would lead to a lot of whining when the numbers of votes and clicks where out of sync. "Hey, someone [up|down]voted without reading the link!" Sometimes it might be justified. Sometimes, for example, I might upvote an article I already read in my RSS reader. Either way it seems like this leads to pointless drama.
